Dealing with unsolicited personal information

If we receive personal information that is not solicited by us, we will only retain it, if we determine that it is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities and that you have consented to the information being collected or given the absence of your consent that it was impracticable or unreasonable for us to obtain it under the circumstances.

When we refer to “use“ of personal information, we mean use within our organization for the purposes outlined above. When we use the word “disclose” we mean providing the information to persons outside of our organization.

We may use and disclose personal information for the primary purposes for which it is collected, and also for reasonably expected secondary purposes which are related to the primary purpose and in other circumstances authorized by the Privacy Act. Sensitive information will be used and disclosed only for the purpose for which it was provided or a directly related secondary purpose, unless the individual agrees otherwise, or where certain other limited circumstances apply (e.g., where required by law).

We may ask for other information to enable us to improve our websites or to send you special offers. In these instances we will usually provide you with an opportunity to opt out from receiving any information after providing your details.

Unless a client agrees and consents, we do not disclose personal information we collect to others for the purpose of allowing them to direct market their products and services.

We may engage other people to perform services for us, this may involve those people handling personal information that we possess. In these situations, we prohibit that person from using personal information about you except for the specific purpose for which we supply it.
